GitGuardian vs Burp Suite

Free tier available

From $475 per user/year (Professional)

Free tier covers small teams entirely; business pricing is quote-based per developer.

Professional is inexpensive for what it does; Enterprise is quote-based by scanning agents and applications.

Free for individuals and teams up to 25 developers.

• Validity checking distinguishes a live credential from a revoked one, which transforms triage priority.
• Scans full commit history, where most leaked secrets actually live.
• Free for teams up to 25 developers.

• The reference tool for manual application penetration testing — every security professional knows it.
• Exceptional scanner accuracy, particularly for injection classes.
• Professional Edition is remarkably good value at under $500 per year.

• Secrets scanning only — not a general security platform.
• Historical scans on old repositories produce a large initial backlog.
• Requires repository access, which needs a security review of its own.

• Community Edition is too limited for serious automated work.
• Requires security expertise; it is not a push-button product for developers.
• Enterprise licensing is a significant step up in cost.

Any organisation with more than a handful of repositories and no secrets scanning today.

Security teams and penetration testers, plus enterprises needing scheduled authenticated scanning.
